The appellants, a law firm and its principal lawyer, appealed a motion judge's decision denying them a fee premium and reimbursement of disbursements for their representation of a catastrophically injured client under a disability.
During the appeal, the parties reached a settlement for a reduced fee premium and full disbursements.
The Court of Appeal approved the settlement, finding it was in the best interests of the person under a disability and fairly compensated the lawyers for their services and risk.
